Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an optical laminate for an OLED display device, and more particularly to an optical laminate for use in an OLED display device that does not use a polarizing plate. Background Art

[0002] Compared to liquid crystal displays (LCDs), OLED (organic light-emitting diode) displays offer advantages in display performance, including high visual recognition, low viewing angle dependence, and fast response speed. Furthermore, OLED displays lack a backlight, facilitating thinning and enabling flexible, bendable, or foldable devices.

[0003] OLED display devices typically include an OLED element in which an anode, an OLED layer including a light-emitting layer, and a cathode are stacked in this order. Because the electrodes (anode or cathode) of OLED elements are made of transparent conductive materials with high refractive indexes, such as ITO, or metal materials with high reflectivity, external light is reflected by the electrodes, resulting in reduced contrast and reflections caused by internal reflections, which can sometimes degrade the display performance of the OLED display device.

[0004] To suppress the adverse effects of external light reflection, a proposal has been made to place a polarizing plate and a circularly polarizing plate, such as a λ / 4 plate, on the viewing side of an OLED display device (e.g., Patent Document 1). Such a circularly polarizing plate also blocks ultraviolet light contained in external light, preventing degradation of the OLED element caused by ultraviolet rays. Furthermore, by utilizing the mechanical properties of the circularly polarizing plate itself, it also absorbs external impact, preventing damage to the OLED display device.

[0005] However, when using a circular polarizer, the light utilization efficiency (i.e., light collection rate) deteriorates due to absorption by the polarizer, resulting in lower brightness. Increasing the luminous intensity of the OLED element to achieve the desired brightness increases power consumption and shortens the lifespan of the OLED element. Furthermore, when the polarizer includes an adhesive layer for bonding, the thickness can reach approximately 0.15 mm, hindering the thinning of the OLED display device. Furthermore, since circular polarizers are expensive, there is also the problem of increased manufacturing costs.

[0006] As an alternative to circular polarizers, the following method has been proposed: for an OLED element, a color filter is arranged on its visual identification side, and the color filter of the same color as the luminous color of the OLED layer is aligned so as to face the OLED element, thereby preventing external light reflection and improving the luminous intensity of the OLED element (for example, Patent Document 2).

[0007] As one form of OLED display device, an OLED display device having a microcavity (also known as multi-reflection interference, optical resonator, or microresonator) structure is known. According to an OLED display device having a microcavity structure, the spectrum of light extracted to the outside becomes steeper and more intense, thereby improving brightness and color purity (for example, Patent Document 3).

[0008] In OLED display devices, various optical elements such as adhesive layers, substrates such as plastic and thin glass, and hard coat layers are laminated to provide functions such as surface protection and flexibility on the viewing side of the OLED element.

[0013] Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-207377 Summary of the Invention

[0014] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0015] As an alternative to circular polarizing plates, a method is used in which a color filter is arranged on the visual recognition side of an OLED element and aligned so that a color filter of the same color as the luminous color of the OLED layer faces the OLED element, thereby preventing external light reflection while improving the luminous intensity of the OLED element. However, due to the regular two-dimensional structure of the color filter, interference unevenness (interference muria) of the reflected light sometimes occurs, thereby impairing the visual recognition of the OLED display device.

[0016] In order to suppress the above-mentioned interference unevenness, laminating an anti-glare layer is effective. However, the anti-glare layer scatters and reflects external light, thereby causing a problem called white blur in which the displayed image appears whitish.

[0017] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an optical laminate for an OLED display device, which is less likely to cause interference unevenness and white blurring in an OLED display device that does not use a polarizing plate.

[0018] Means used to solve problems

[0019] The present inventors have conducted intensive research to achieve the above-mentioned objectives and have discovered that by laminating a specific optical laminate in an OLED display device that does not use a polarizing plate, an OLED display device that is less prone to interference unevenness and white blur and has excellent visual recognition can be provided, thereby completing the present invention.

[0020] That is, the present invention provides an optical laminate for an OLED display device, the optical laminate for an OLED display device being used for an OLED display device in which only an optical element having a polarization degree of 95% or less is laminated on a visual recognition side of an OLED element, wherein the optical element has at least an antireflection layer and an anti-glare layer, and when, in a reflectance spectrum of the OLED display device in a state where the optical laminate for the OLED display device is not laminated, the maximum reflectance within a wavelength range of 380 nm to 455 nm is set to Rp1, and the maximum reflectance within a wavelength range of 460 nm to 530 nm is set to Rp2, the reflectance of the antireflection layer at a wavelength WL1 of Rp1 is set to Rf1, and the reflectance of the antireflection layer at a wavelength WL2 of Rp2 is set to Rf2, and the scattering efficiency of the anti-glare layer at the wavelength WL1 is set to S1, and the scattering efficiency of the anti-glare layer at the wavelength WL2 is set to S2, the value of (S1+S2) / {[Rf1 / Rp1]+[Rf2 / Rp2]} is 100 or greater.

[0021] The water contact angle of the antireflection layer is preferably 100° or greater.

[0022] The water contact angle of the antireflection layer after an eraser test is preferably 90° or greater.

[0026] It is preferred that the anti-glare layer have a base layer and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the side opposite to the visual recognition side.

[0027] The haze value H of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably 20% to 90%.

[0036] Figure 7 This is a schematic cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of an OLED display device in which the optical laminate of the present invention is stacked. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The present invention provides an optical laminate for use in an OLED display device (optical laminate for an OLED display device), wherein only an optical element having a polarization degree of 95% or less is laminated on the viewing side of an OLED element. The optical laminate for an OLED display device of the present invention is sometimes referred to as the "optical laminate of the present invention," an OLED display device using the optical laminate of the present invention is sometimes referred to as the "OLED display device of the present invention," and an optical element constituting the optical laminate of the present invention is sometimes referred to as the "optical element of the present invention."

[0038] The OLED display device of the present invention has an essential structure comprising an OLED display panel including an OLED element in which an anode, an OLED layer including a light-emitting layer, and a cathode are stacked in this order, and the optical laminate of the present invention is stacked on the viewing side of the OLED element. The OLED display panel constituting the OLED display device of the present invention is sometimes referred to as the "OLED display panel of the present invention."

[0039] The OLED display device of the present invention is only stacked with optical elements with a polarization degree of 95% or less on the visual recognition side of the OLED element in the OLED display panel. “Only stacked with optical elements with a polarization degree of 95% or less on the visual recognition side of the OLED element” means that the optical elements on the visual recognition side of the OLED element do not include optical elements with a polarization degree greater than 95%. There are no special restrictions on “optical elements with a polarization degree greater than 95%”, including polarizing plates such as linear polarizing plates, 1 / 4 phase difference plates, 1 / 2 phase difference plates, circular polarizing plates, and reflective polarizing plates. That is, the OLED display device of the present invention is an OLED display device that does not include a polarizing plate on the visual recognition side of the OLED element.

[0040] The polarization degree is determined by the following formula based on the parallel transmittance Tp and the cross transmittance Tc measured using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer and corrected for visibility.

[0041] Polarization degree (%) = {(Tp-Tc) / (Tp+Tc)}1 / 2×100

[0042] The OLED display device of the present invention does not include a polarizing plate on the viewing side of the OLED element. This prevents the polarizing plate from absorbing light emitted from the OLED element, thereby increasing light collection efficiency, saving power, and extending the life of the OLED element. Furthermore, by eliminating the polarizing plate, the device can be thinner and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0043] The optical element of the present invention comprises at least an antireflection layer and an antiglare layer. The optical element of the present invention having an antireflection layer is preferred because it is less likely to cause interference unevenness and white blurring in the OLED display device of the present invention, resulting in excellent visual recognition. Furthermore, the optical laminate of the present invention comprises an antiglare layer, thereby suppressing interference unevenness in the OLED display device of the present invention and providing excellent visual recognition.

[0044] In the optical laminate of the present invention, in the reflectance spectrum of the OLED display device in a state where the optical laminate of the present invention is not laminated, the maximum reflectance in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 455 nm is defined as Rp1, and the maximum reflectance in the wavelength range of 460 nm to 530 nm is defined as Rp2; the reflectance of the antireflection layer at a wavelength WL1 of Rp1 is defined as Rf1, and the reflectance of the antireflection layer at a wavelength WL2 of Rp2 is defined as Rf2; and the scattering efficiency of the antiglare layer at the wavelength WL1 is defined as S1, and the scattering efficiency of the antiglare layer at the wavelength WL2 is defined as S2. The value of (S1+S2) / {[Rf1 / Rp1]+[Rf2 / Rp2]} is 100 or more, preferably 200 or more, and more preferably 300 or more. By having such a configuration, white blurring caused by the OLED display device of the present invention can be suppressed, and excellent visual recognition can be achieved.

[0045] In another embodiment of the OLED display device of the present invention, a color filter is preferably disposed on the visual recognition side of the OLED element, and only the optical element of this embodiment is laminated on the visual recognition side of the color filter. The optical element of this embodiment preferably has at least an adhesive layer, at least one layer of the adhesive layer has light scattering properties, and the distance (d) between the adhesive layer having light scattering properties and the color filter is 700 μm or less. The distance between the adhesive layer having light scattering properties and the color filter is 700 μm or less, which is suitable in the following aspects: even if a light scattering layer is laminated to suppress color shift and interference unevenness caused by the OLED display device of this embodiment, image blur is unlikely to occur, and visual recognition is excellent.

[0046] In another embodiment of the OLED display device of the present invention, the optical element of this embodiment preferably has at least an anti-glare layer. The optical element of this embodiment having an anti-glare layer is suitable for suppressing color shift and interference unevenness caused by the OLED display device of this embodiment, thereby improving visual recognition.

[0047] In another embodiment of the OLED display device of the present invention, the optical element of this embodiment preferably includes at least a glass layer and a resin layer, and the glass layer and the resin layer are bonded together via an adhesive layer. In the optical laminate of this embodiment, bonding the glass layer and the resin layer together via the adhesive layer improves the impact resistance of the OLED display device of this embodiment, and is therefore suitable.

[0048] In another embodiment of the OLED display device of the present invention, the optical element of this embodiment preferably comprises at least a transparent polyimide layer and a hard coat layer. The optical element of this embodiment having a transparent polyimide layer and a hard coat layer improves the impact resistance of the OLED display device of this embodiment, and is therefore suitable. Each component is described below.

[0049] (OLED display panel)

[0050] The OLED display panel used in the OLED display device of the present invention includes an OLED element in which an anode, an OLED layer including a light-emitting layer, and a cathode are stacked in this order as an essential component. The optical laminate of the present invention is stacked on the viewing side of the OLED element of the OLED display panel.

[0051] Hereinafter, an embodiment of an OLED display panel constituting the OLED display device of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0052] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of an OLED display panel according to the present invention.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the OLED display panel 100 includes: a red OLED element 12R in which a transparent electrode 11a, a red OLED layer 10R that emits red light, and a back electrode 11b are stacked in this order; a green OLED element 12G in which a transparent electrode 11a, a green OLED layer 10G that emits green light, and a back electrode 11b are stacked in this order; and a blue OLED element 12B in which a transparent electrode 11a, a blue OLED layer 10B that emits blue light, and a back electrode 11b are stacked in this order. The OLED elements 12R, 12G, and 12B of various colors are sequentially arranged on a substrate 13. A TFT (thin film transistor) layer 14 is formed on the surface of the substrate 13 where the OLED elements are arranged, and is connected to the back electrodes 11b of the OLED elements 12R, 12G, and 12B of various colors.

[0054] exist Figure 1 In the OLED display panel 100, on the visual recognition side of the OLED elements 12R, 12G, and 12B of various colors ( Figure 1 A color filter 15 is provided (in the center, the upper side). The color filter 15 includes a red colored layer 15R, a green colored layer 15G, and a blue colored layer 15B, and a black matrix layer 16 is provided between the colored layers.

[0055] exist Figure 1In the color filter 15 , the red colored layer 15R, the green colored layer 15G, and the blue colored layer 15B are arranged to face the red OLED element 12R, the green OLED element 12G, and the blue OLED element 12B, respectively.

[0056] The transparent electrode 11a is either a cathode or an anode, but is usually a cathode. Transparent conductive materials such as ITO (indium tin oxide), indium oxide, IZO (indium zinc oxide), SnO2, and ZnO are used as the forming material of the transparent electrode 11a.

[0057] The back electrode 11b functions as a counter electrode for the transparent electrode 11a. The back electrode 11b can be either an anode or a cathode, but is typically provided on the substrate 13 as an anode. Examples of materials for forming the back electrode 11b include metals such as gold, silver, and chromium. Therefore, the back electrode 11b can reflect light.

[0058] A bonding layer 17 is provided between the substrate 13 and the color filter 15. The bonding layer 17 is translucent. The bonding layer 17 can be made of any material commonly used in OLED display devices, such as a photosensitive polyimide resin or a thermosetting resin.

[0059] OLED display panel 100 Figure 1 In addition to the structures shown, the OLED display panel may have structures such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, a sealing layer, a touch sensor panel, etc. (not shown).

[0060] Figure 1 The OLED display panel is characterized in that a color filter 15 is disposed on each of the OLED elements 12R, 12G, and 12B in a manner opposite to the colored layers 15R, 15G, and 15B of the same color. Figure 1 As shown, white external light W, for example, passes through the red coloring layer 15R, further passes through the transparent electrode 11a and the red OLED layer 10R that emits red light and is reflected at the back electrode 11b, passes through the red OLED layer 10R, the transparent electrode 11a and the red coloring layer 15R again, and then the reflected light G enters the observer's eyes.

[0061] The external light W is absorbed by the red coloring layer 15R, which absorbs green and blue light, so the light intensity is reduced to 1 / 3. In addition, the reflected light G passes through the red coloring layer 15R and the red OLED layer 10R again, thereby causing attenuation. In addition, the reflected light G is red, so it can enhance the red light emitted from the OLED layer 10R. The same is true when the external light W is incident on the green coloring layer 15G and the blue coloring layer 15B, which can enhance the green light and blue light respectively. Therefore, by using color filters in the OLED display panel, even without using a circular polarizer to prevent reflection, the reflection of external light can be greatly suppressed, and the luminous intensity of the OLED element can be improved.

[0062] However, color filters are generally prone to interference unevenness caused by a regular two-dimensional structure. In addition, color filters are prone to reflection at the interface, which reduces the light collection rate of light emitted from the OLED element. In addition, compared with the case of using a circular polarizing plate, color filters have insufficient ultraviolet absorption function, and OLED elements are prone to deterioration over time due to ultraviolet rays contained in external light (i.e., low weather resistance). In addition, compared with the case of using a circular polarizing plate, color filters have insufficient impact absorption function.

[0063] The OLED display panel 100 of this embodiment also has a microcavity structure. Light generated by the OLED layers 10R, 10G, and 10B is emitted to the outside through the transparent electrode 11a. This emitted light consists of two components: "direct light," which is emitted directly from the OLED layers 10R, 10G, and 10B toward the transparent electrode 11a, and "reflected light," which is emitted from the OLED layers 10R, 10G, and 10B toward the back electrode 11b, reflected by the back electrode 11b, and then emitted toward the transparent electrode 11a. Specifically, a first optical path C1 is formed in which a portion of the light emitted from the OLED layers 10R, 10G, and 10B does not travel toward the back electrode 11b but instead travels toward the transparent electrode 11a, passing through the transparent electrode 11a and emitting to the outside. A second optical path C2 is formed in which the remaining portion of the light emitted from the OLED layers 10R, 10G, and 10B travels toward the back electrode 11b, is reflected by the back electrode 11b, and then passes through the OLED layers 10R, 10G, 10B and the transparent electrode 11a and emitting to the outside. The thicknesses of the OLED layers 10R, 10G, and 10B differ so that the interference between the direct light and the reflected light enhances the light components corresponding to each color. Specifically, the thicknesses of the OLED layers 10R, 10G, and 10B are varied so that the optical path lengths between the back electrode (positive electrode) 11b and the transparent electrode (negative electrode) 11a coincide with the peak wavelengths of the EL spectra for each of the red, green, and blue colors, thereby extracting the strongest light from each color. Specifically, the short-wavelength blue OLED layer 10B is designed to be thin, while the long-wavelength red OLED layer 10R is designed to be thick. When light generated in the OLED layer is repeatedly reflected between the positive and negative electrodes, only light with wavelengths that match the optical path length resonates and intensifies, while light with other wavelengths that do not match the optical path length is weakened. This results in a steeper spectrum of light extracted to the outside, with higher intensity, improving brightness and color purity.

[0064] While OLED display panels with a microcavity structure can achieve excellent results such as improved brightness and color purity, their steep spectrum can also lead to a problem of strong viewing angle dependence (narrow viewing angle). Consequently, when viewing an image from an oblique angle, a color shift may occur, causing the color to appear different from the intended color.

[0065] (Optical element of the present invention)

[0066] The optical element of the present invention is an optical element laminated on the viewing side of an OLED display device, and includes at least one layer selected from the group consisting of an adhesive layer, an adhesive layer, a resin layer, a glass layer, a hard coat layer, an antireflection layer, an antiglare layer, an intermediate layer (a compatibilizing layer), an impact-absorbing layer, and an antistatic layer. However, the optical element of the present invention does not include an optical element having a polarization degree greater than 95%, such as a polarizing plate.

[0068] The adhesive layer is a layer having adhesiveness at room temperature and adhering to an adherend with light pressure. Even when the adherend affixed to the adhesive layer is peeled off, the adhesive layer maintains practical adhesive strength.

[0069] From the perspective of effectively reducing color shift and interference unevenness in OLED display devices, the adhesive layer constituting the optical element of the present invention (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "adhesive layer of the present invention") preferably has light scattering properties (a function of scattering light). When the adhesive layer of the present invention has light scattering properties, it preferably contains light scattering fine particles dispersed in the adhesive layer.

[0070] In the case where the OLED display device of the present invention includes a color filter on the visual recognition side and the adhesive layer has light scattering properties, from the perspective of reducing the color shift and interference unevenness of the OLED display device and suppressing the image blur of the OLED display device caused by light scattering, the distance (d) between the adhesive layer with light scattering properties and the color filter is preferably 700 μm or less. From the perspective of suppressing the image blur of the OLED display device caused by light scattering, the distance between the adhesive layer with light scattering properties and the color filter is more preferably 600 μm or less, and further preferably 500 μm or less. It is most preferred that the adhesive layer with light scattering properties is in direct contact with the color filter. The distance between the adhesive layer with light scattering properties and the color filter represents the distance (μm) between the surface of the adhesive layer in the color filter direction and the surface of the adhesive layer in the color filter direction. When other layers are stacked between the adhesive layer with light scattering properties and the color filter, it is equivalent to the thickness (μm) of the other layer (the total in the case of two or more layers).

[0071] The haze value (H) of the adhesive layer of the present invention is not particularly limited. From the perspective of effectively reducing color shift and interference unevenness in OLED display devices, it is preferably 20% or more, more preferably 30% or more, further preferably 40% or more, and particularly preferably 50% or more.

Furthermore, the upper limit of the total light transmittance of the adhesive layer of the present invention is not particularly limited and may be less than 100%, or may be 99.9% or lower, or 99% or lower.

[0073] The haze value and total light transmittance of the adhesive layer of the present invention can be measured by the methods specified in JIS K7136 and JIS K7361, respectively, and can be controlled by the type and thickness of the adhesive layer, and the type and amount of light scattering fine particles described below.

[0074] From the viewpoint of effectively reducing color shift and interference unevenness in OLED display devices, the thickness (T) of the adhesive layer of the present invention is preferably 10 μm to 100 μm, more preferably 15 μm to 90 μm, and even more preferably 20 μm to 80 μm.

[0075] The light scattering particles and the adhesive in the adhesive layer have a suitable refractive index difference, giving light scattering properties to the adhesive layer. When the adhesive layer contains light scattering particles, it is preferred to give scattering properties to light. As light scattering particles, inorganic particles, polymer particles, etc. can be listed. The light scattering particles are preferably polymer particles, and particularly particles consisting of silicone resins (such as the Tospearl series manufactured by Maitu Advanced Materials Japan Co., Ltd.) have excellent dispersibility, stability and a suitable refractive index difference with the adhesive layer to the adhesive layer, and can obtain an adhesive layer with excellent scattering properties showing uniform haze in the plane, which is preferred in terms of reducing the color shift of the OLED display device and the uneven interference. The shape of the light scattering particles can be, for example, a true sphere, a flat shape, or an irregular shape. The light scattering particles can be used alone or in combination with two or more.

[0076] The refractive index (n3) of the light-scattering fine particles is preferably 1.2 to 5, more preferably 1.25 to 4.5, and may be 1.3 to 4 or 1.35 to 3.

[0077] From the perspective of effectively reducing color shift and interference unevenness in OLED display devices, the absolute value of the refractive index difference between the light-scattering fine particles and the binder in the binder layer (the binder layer excluding the light-scattering fine particles) is preferably 0.001 or greater, more preferably 0.01 or greater, even more preferably 0.02 or greater, particularly preferably 0.03 or greater, and can be 0.04 or greater or 0.05 or greater. Furthermore, from the perspective of preventing excessively high haze values, suppressing image blur, and displaying high-definition images, the absolute value of the refractive index difference between the light-scattering fine particles and the binder is preferably 5 or less, more preferably 4 or less, and even more preferably 3 or less.

[0078] The refractive index (n2) of the binder is preferably 1.40 to 1.60, more preferably 1.42 to 1.55, and even more preferably 1.43 to 1.50.

[0079] The adhesive layer of the present invention (particularly when a color filter is disposed on the viewing side of the OLED element and the distance (d) between the adhesive layer of the present invention and the color filter is 700 μm or less) is not particularly limited. However, from the perspective of preventing interfacial reflection and improving the light collection efficiency of light emitted from the OLED element, a high refractive index is preferred. From the perspective of preventing interfacial reflection and improving the light collection efficiency of light emitted from the OLED element, the refractive index of the adhesive layer of the present invention is preferably 1.57 or greater, more preferably 1.575 or greater, even more preferably 1.580 or greater, particularly preferably 1.585 or greater, even more preferably 1.590 or greater, and may also be 1.595 or greater.

[0112] Examples of materials capable of forming the medium refractive index layer include titanium oxide (TiO2), a mixture of a material capable of forming a low refractive index layer and a material capable of forming a high refractive index layer (e.g., a mixture of titanium oxide and silicon oxide). The refractive index of the medium refractive index layer is typically about 1.50 to about 1.85. The thicknesses of the low refractive index layer, the medium refractive index layer, and the high refractive index layer can be set to achieve an appropriate optical film thickness corresponding to the layer structure of the antireflection layer, the desired antireflection performance, etc.

[0120] (Anti-glare layer)

It is generally formed as a layer in which inorganic or organic particles serving as an antiglare agent are dispersed in a resin.

[0122] The anti-glare layer of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, it can be formed using an anti-glare layer-forming material comprising a resin, particles, and a thixotropy-imparting agent. The particles and thixotropy-imparting agent aggregate to form convex portions on the surface of the anti-glare layer of the present invention. This configuration allows the anti-glare layer to exhibit excellent display properties, achieving both anti-glare properties and preventing white blur. Furthermore, while the anti-glare layer is formed by agglomeration of particles, the formation of protrusions on the surface of the anti-glare layer, which can cause appearance defects, can be prevented, thereby improving the product yield.

[0123] Examples of the resin include thermosetting resins and ionizing radiation curable resins that are cured by ultraviolet rays or light. Commercially available thermosetting resins, ultraviolet curable resins, and the like can also be used as the resin.

[0124] As the above-mentioned thermosetting resin and ultraviolet curing resin, for example, a curable compound having at least one of an acrylate group and a methacrylate group that is cured by heat, light (ultraviolet rays, etc.), or electron beams, can be used.

The weight average particle size of the above-mentioned particles is more preferably in the range of 3μm to 7μm. It should be noted that the weight average particle size of the above-mentioned particles can be measured by, for example, the Coulter counting method. For example, a particle size distribution measuring device using a pore resistance method (trade name: Coulter counter, manufactured by Beckman Coulter) is used to measure the resistance of the electrolyte equivalent to the volume of the particles when the particles pass through the above-mentioned pores, thereby measuring the number and volume of the above-mentioned particles and calculating the weight average particle size.

[0129] The shape of the above-mentioned particles is not particularly limited. For example, they can be roughly spherical in the form of beads, or they can be irregularly shaped particles such as powder.

[0135] The thixotropy-imparting agents may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0136] The height of the roughness average line of the anti-glare layer of the present invention from the above-mentioned convex portion is preferably less than 0.4 times the thickness of the anti-glare layer. More preferably, it is in the range of greater than or equal to 0.01 times and less than 0.4 times, and further preferably in the range of greater than or equal to 0.01 times and less than 0.3 times. If it is within this range, it is possible to appropriately prevent protrusions that become appearance defects from being formed on the convex portion. The anti-glare layer of the present invention can be less prone to appearance defects by having a convex portion of such a height. Here, the height from the above-mentioned average line can be measured, for example, by the method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-138620.

[0137] The ratio of the thixotropy-imparting agent in the anti-glare layer of the present invention is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, more preferably in the range of 0.2 to 4 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the resin.

[0138] The thickness (d') of the anti-glare layer of the present invention is not particularly limited, and is preferably in the range of 2 μm to 12 μm. By making the thickness (d') of the anti-glare layer within the above range, for example, the optical laminate of the present invention can be prevented from curling, and problems such as poor transportability and reduced productivity can be avoided. In addition, when the thickness (d') is within the above range, as described above, the weight average particle size (D) of the particles is preferably in the range of 2.5 μm to 10 μm. By making the thickness (d') of the anti-glare layer of the present invention and the weight average particle size (D) of the particles be the above combination, the anti-glare property can be made more excellent. The thickness (d') of the anti-glare layer of the present invention is more preferably in the range of 2 μm to 10 μm, and further preferably in the range of 3 μm to 8 μm.

[0139] The relationship between the thickness (d') of the anti-glare layer of the present invention and the weight average particle size (D) of the particles is preferably within the range of 0.3 ≤ D / d' ≤ 0.9. This relationship can further improve anti-glare properties, prevent white blur, and produce an anti-glare layer without appearance defects.

[0140] The haze value (H') of the anti-glare layer of the present invention is not particularly limited. From the perspective of effectively reducing color shift and interference unevenness in OLED displays, it is preferably 5% or greater, more preferably 10% or greater, even more preferably 15% or greater, and particularly preferably 20% or greater. Furthermore, from the perspective of suppressing image blur in OLED displays and displaying high-definition images, the haze value of the anti-glare layer of the present invention is preferably 80% or less, more preferably 70% or less, even more preferably 60% or less, and particularly preferably 50% or less.

[0141] The haze value of the anti-glare layer of the present invention can be measured by the method specified in JIS K7136 and can be designed by controlling the type and thickness of the anti-glare layer and the refractive index difference between the particles and the resin.

[0142] The anti-glare layer of the present invention forms convex portions on the surface of the anti-glare layer of the present invention by agglomerating the particles and the thixotropy-imparting agent. Within the agglomerated portions forming the convex portions, the particles are present in a plurality of aggregates in the direction of the surface of the anti-glare layer of the present invention. As a result, the convex portions have a flat shape. The anti-glare layer of the present invention, having convex portions of such a shape, can prevent white blur while maintaining anti-glare properties and is less susceptible to appearance defects.

[0143] The surface shape of the anti-glare layer of the present invention can be arbitrarily designed by controlling the coagulation state of the particles contained in the anti-glare layer forming material. The coagulation state of the particles can be controlled, for example, by the material of the particles (e.g., the chemical modification state of the particle surface, affinity for solvents or resins, etc.), the type and combination of the resin (binder) or solvent, etc. The coagulation state of the particles can be controlled by the thixotropy imparting agent contained in the anti-glare layer forming material of the present invention. As a result, the coagulation state of the particles can be made as described above, and the convex portion can be made into a gentle shape.

[0144] In the anti-glare layer of the present invention, it is preferred that the number of appearance defects with a maximum diameter of 200 μm or more is less per 1 m 2 More preferably, there is no such appearance defect.

[0145] In the concavo-convex shape of the anti-glare layer surface of the present invention, the average tilt angle θa (°) is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 5.0, more preferably in the range of 0.3 to 4.5, further preferably in the range of 1.0 to 4.0, and particularly preferably in the range of 1.6 to 4.0. Here, the average tilt angle θa is a value defined by the following mathematical formula (1). The above-mentioned average tilt angle θa is, for example, a value measured by the method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-138620.

[0146] Average tilt angle θa = tan -1 Δa (1)

[0147] In the above mathematical formula (1), Δa is the value obtained by dividing the sum of the differences (height h) between the apex of adjacent peaks and the lowest point of valleys (h1+h2+h3...+hn) by the reference length L of the roughness curve specified in JIS B0601 (1994 edition), as shown in the following mathematical formula (2). The above roughness curve is a curve obtained by removing surface fluctuation components longer than a specified wavelength from a cross-sectional curve using a phase difference compensation high-frequency filter. The cross-sectional curve refers to the profile that appears at the cut when the target surface is cut along a plane perpendicular to the target surface.

[0148] Δa=(h1+h2+h3···+hn) / L (2)

[0149] When θa is within the above range, the anti-glare property is more excellent and white blurring can be prevented.

[0150] When forming the anti-glare layer of the present invention, the prepared anti-glare layer-forming material (coating solution) preferably exhibits thixotropy, and the Ti value specified below is preferably in the range of 1.3 to 3.5, more preferably in the range of 1.3 to 2.8.

[0151] Ti value = β1 / β2

[0152] Here, β1 is the viscosity measured using Rheo stress 6000 manufactured by HAAKE at a shear rate of 20 (1 / s), and β2 is the viscosity measured using Rheo stress 6000 manufactured by HAAKE at a shear rate of 200 (1 / s).

[0153] When the Ti value is less than 1.3, appearance defects are likely to occur, and the anti-glare and white haze properties are deteriorated. On the other hand, when the Ti value is greater than 3.5, the particles are less likely to aggregate and tend to be dispersed.

[0154] The method for producing the anti-glare layer of the present invention is not particularly limited and can be produced by any method. For example, the anti-glare layer can be produced by preparing an anti-glare layer-forming material (coating solution) containing the resin, the particles, the thixotropy-imparting agent, and a solvent, applying the anti-glare layer-forming material (coating solution) to form a coating film, and curing the coating film to form the anti-glare layer. Alternatively, a transfer method using a mold or a method of imparting a concave-convex shape by sandblasting, embossing rollers, or other suitable methods can be used.

[0155] The above-mentioned solvent is not particularly limited, and various solvents can be used, either alone or in combination. The optimal solvent type and solvent ratio vary depending on the composition of the above-mentioned resin, the type and content of the above-mentioned particles and the above-mentioned thixotropy-imparting agent. The solvent is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include: alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, and 2-methoxyethanol; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and cyclopentanone; esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and butyl acetate; ethers such as diisopropyl ether and propylene glycol monomethyl ether; glycols such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol; cellosolves such as ethyl cellosolve and butyl cellosolve; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane, and octane; and aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, and xylene.

[0156] By appropriately selecting the above-mentioned solvent, the thixotropy-imparting agent can be used to make the anti-glare layer-forming material (coating solution) exhibit good thixotropy. For example, when using organoclay, toluene and xylene can be suitably used alone or in combination. For example, when using oxidized polyolefin, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, and propylene glycol monomethyl ether can be suitably used alone or in combination. For example, when using modified urea, butyl acetate and methyl isobutyl ketone can be suitably used alone or in combination.

[0157] Various leveling agents can be added to the anti-glare layer forming material. As the above-mentioned leveling agent, in order to prevent uneven coating (uniformity of the coating surface), for example, a fluorine-containing or silicone-based leveling agent can be used. The leveling agent can be appropriately selected according to the situation where the surface of the anti-glare layer of the present invention requires antifouling properties, or the situation where an anti-reflection layer or a layer containing an interlayer filler is formed on the anti-glare layer. For example, by containing the thixotropy imparting agent, the coating liquid can exhibit thixotropy, and is therefore not prone to uneven coating. Therefore, for example, there is an advantage of expanding the selection range of the above-mentioned leveling agent.

[0158] The amount of the leveling agent blended is, for example, 5 parts by weight or less, and preferably within a range of 0.01 to 5 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the resin.

[0159] The anti-glare layer forming material may be added with pigments, fillers, dispersants, plasticizers, ultraviolet absorbers, surfactants, antifouling agents, antioxidants, etc. as needed within a range that does not impair performance. These additives may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0160] As the anti-glare layer-forming material, a conventionally known photopolymerization initiator described in, for example, JP-A-2008-88309 can be used.

[0161] Examples of a method for applying the anti-glare layer-forming material include a coating method such as a jet coating method, a die coating method, a spin coating method, a spray coating method, a gravure coating method, a roll coating method, and a bar coating method.

[0162] The anti-glare layer-forming material is applied to form a coating film, and the coating film is cured. The coating film is preferably dried before curing. The drying method may be, for example, natural drying, air drying, heat drying, or a combination thereof.

[0163] The curing means of the coating of the anti-glare layer forming material is not particularly limited, but ultraviolet curing is preferred. The irradiation amount of the energy ray source is preferably 50 mJ / cm2 in terms of cumulative exposure at an ultraviolet wavelength of 365 nm. 2 ~500mJ / cm 2 If the irradiation dose is 50mJ / cm 2 If the irradiation dose is 500mJ / cm 2 The following can prevent the formed anti-glare layer from being colored.

[0164] The anti-glare layer of the present invention can be formed by the above operation. It should be noted that the anti-glare layer can also be formed by a manufacturing method other than the above method. Although the hardness of the anti-glare layer of the present invention is affected by the thickness of the layer, it is preferably 2H or more in pencil hardness.

[0165] The anti-glare layer of the present invention may have a multilayer structure in which two or more layers are stacked.

[0166] The anti-reflection layer described above can also be disposed on the anti-glare layer of the present invention. For example, one of the main reasons for reducing the visual recognition of OLED displays is the reflection of light at the interface between air and the anti-glare layer. The anti-reflection layer reduces surface reflection. It should be noted that the anti-glare layer and the anti-reflection layer of the present invention can each be a multilayer structure obtained by laminating two or more layers.

In this case, H is preferably 20 or more.

However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. Figure 2 This is a schematic cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of the basic configuration of an OLED display device in which the optical laminate of the present invention is laminated.

[0197] like Figure 2 As shown, the OLED display device 200 is on the visual recognition side ( Figure 2 The OLED display panel 100 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, Figure 1 The OLED display panel 100 has the same structure as described in .

[0198] exist Figure 2In the OLED display device 200, 26 to 29 are layers constituting the optical laminate 20, 26 represents a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer or adhesive layer, 27 represents a resin layer, 28 represents an anti-glare layer, and 29 represents an anti-reflection layer. The optical laminate 20 having the anti-glare layer 28 and the anti-reflection layer 29 suppresses interference unevenness and white blurring caused by the OLED display panel 100, and the OLED display device 200 has excellent visual recognition.

[0199] exist Figure 3 In the OLED display device 300, 31 to 39 are layers constituting the optical laminate 30, 31 represents an adhesive layer or a bonding agent layer, 32 represents a resin layer, a glass layer or an impact-absorbing layer, 33 represents a hard coating layer or an anti-glare layer, 34 represents an adhesive layer or an adhesive layer, 35 represents a resin layer, a glass layer or an impact-absorbing layer, 36 represents an adhesive layer or an adhesive layer, 37 represents a resin layer, a glass layer or an impact-absorbing layer, 38 represents an anti-glare layer, and 39 represents an anti-reflection layer. Figure 3 The stacked structure of the optical stack 30 shown is not limited to this embodiment, and may be Figure 3 The optical layered structure of the optical layered body 30 shown may include other layers constituting the optical element of the present invention inserted between any of the layers, or may not exist. Figure 3 Any layer of the stacked structure of the optical stack 30 shown.

[0200] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 In FIG, 31 is an adhesive layer, 32 is a resin layer, 33 is a hard coating layer, 34 is an adhesive layer, 35 is a glass layer, 36 is an adhesive layer, 37 is a resin layer, 38 is an anti-glare layer, and 39 is an anti-reflection layer. At least one of the adhesive layers 31, 34, and 36 may be an adhesive layer having light scattering properties. Figure 4 FIG shows an OLED display device 400 of this embodiment. Figure 4 In the figure, 41 to 49 are layers constituting the optical laminate 40, 41 is an adhesive layer, 42 is a resin layer, 43 is a hard coat layer, 44 is an adhesive layer, 45 is a glass layer, 46 is an adhesive layer having light scattering properties, 47 is a resin layer, 48 is an anti-glare layer, and 49 is an anti-reflection layer. The optical laminate 40 having the anti-glare layer 48 and the anti-reflection layer 49 suppresses interference unevenness and white blurring caused by the OLED display panel 100, and the OLED display device 400 has excellent visual recognition.

At least one of the adhesive layers 31, 34, and 36 is an adhesive layer having light scattering properties, and the distance d (μm) between the adhesive layer having light scattering properties and the color filter is 700 μm or less. Since the distance d between the adhesive layer having light scattering properties and the color filter is 700 μm or less, even if a light scattering layer is stacked to suppress color shift and interference unevenness caused by the OLED display device 300, image blur is not easily generated, and visual recognition is excellent. From the perspective of more effectively reducing image blurring in OLED display devices caused by stacking a light scattering layer, the distance between the adhesive layer having light scattering properties and the color filter is more preferably 600 μm or less, further preferably 500 μm or less, and most preferably the adhesive layer having light scattering properties is in direct contact with the color filter. Figure 5 (a) and Figure 5 (b) shows OLED display devices 500A and 500B of this embodiment.

The light-scattering adhesive layer 51B is in direct contact with the color filter 15B. That is, the distance between the light-scattering adhesive layer 51B and the color filter 15B is 0 μm. This effectively suppresses color shift and interference unevenness caused by the OLED display device 500B.

[0202] It should be noted that in Figure 5(a) and Figure 5 In the OLED display devices 500A and 500B shown in (b), a hard coating layer may be provided between the anti-glare layer 58A and the anti-reflection layer 59A, or between the anti-glare layer 58B and the anti-reflection layer 59B.

[0203] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 In the figure, 31 is an adhesive layer, 32 is a resin layer, 33 is absent, 34 is an adhesive layer, 35 is a glass layer, 36 is an adhesive layer, 37 is a resin layer, 38 is an anti-glare layer, and 39 is an anti-reflection layer. Alternatively, Figure 3 In FIG, 31 is an adhesive layer, 32 is a resin layer, 33 is a hard coating layer, 34 is an adhesive layer, 35 is a glass layer, 36 is an adhesive layer, 37 is a resin layer, 38 is an anti-glare layer, and 39 is an anti-reflection layer. At least one of the adhesive layers 31, 34, and 36 may be an adhesive layer having light scattering properties. Figure 6 (a) and Figure 6 (b) shows OLED display devices 600A and 600B of this embodiment. Figure 6 In (a), 61A, 62A, 64A to 69A are layers constituting the optical laminate 60A, 61A is an adhesive layer, 62A is a resin layer, 64A is an adhesive layer, 65A is a glass layer, 66A is an adhesive layer, 67A is a resin layer, 68A is an anti-glare layer, and 69A is an anti-reflection layer. At least one of the adhesive layers 61A, 64A, and 66A is an adhesive layer having light scattering properties. In addition, Figure 6 In (b), 61B to 69B are layers constituting the optical laminate 60B, 61B is an adhesive layer, 62B is a resin layer, 63B is a hard coat layer, 64B is an adhesive layer, 65B is a glass layer, 66B is an adhesive layer, 67B is a resin layer, 68B is an anti-glare layer, and 69B is an anti-reflection layer.

Figure 6 In (a), the resin layer 62A and the glass layer 65A are bonded together by the adhesive layer 64A, or Figure 6 In (b), the glass layer 65B and the resin layer 67B are bonded together by an adhesive layer 66B, thereby imparting excellent impact resistance to each of the optical laminates 60A and 60B, even when the optical laminates 60A and 60B do not include a polarizing plate. While the glass layer has excellent impact resistance, it is a raw material that is easily broken and has low bendability. By bonding the glass layer and the resin layer together with an adhesive layer, flexibility and bendability are improved, enabling the OLED display devices 600A and 600B to be used in flexible and foldable devices.

[0204] It should be noted that in Figure 6 (a) and Figure 6In the OLED display devices 600A and 600B shown in (b), a hard coat layer may be provided between the anti-glare layer 68A and the anti-reflection layer 69A, or between the anti-glare layer 68B and the anti-reflection layer 69B.

[0205] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 In the figure, 31 is an adhesive layer, 32 is a resin layer, 33 is a hard coating layer, 34 is an adhesive layer, 35, 36, and 37 are resin layers, 38 is an anti-glare layer, and 39 is an anti-reflection layer. Either or both of the resin layers 32 and 37 are transparent polyimide layers. At least one of the adhesive layers 31 and 34 is an adhesive layer having light scattering properties. Figure 7 FIG shows an OLED display device 700 of this embodiment. Figure 7 In FIG. 7 , 71 to 74 and 77 to 79 are layers constituting the optical laminate 70, 71 is an adhesive layer, 72 is a transparent polyimide layer, 73 is a hard coat layer, 74 is an adhesive layer, 77 is a resin layer, 78 is an anti-glare layer, and 79 is an anti-reflection layer. At least one of the adhesive layers 71 and 74 is an adhesive layer having light scattering properties. Figure 7 In the embodiment, the optical laminate 70 includes a transparent polyimide layer 72 and a hard coating layer 73, thereby imparting excellent impact resistance even when the optical laminate 70 does not include a polarizing plate. In addition, in this embodiment, the optical laminate 70 does not include a glass layer. The glass layer is a raw material that exhibits high hardness and excellent impact resistance, but has poor operability and is difficult to use in large displays used in PCs, tablet computers, etc. By laminating the transparent polyimide layer and the hard coating layer, it is possible to achieve high hardness equivalent to that of the glass layer, and the operability is also excellent, so it can be used in large displays used in PCs, tablet computers, etc.

[0206] It should be noted that in Figure 7 In the OLED display device 700 shown, a hard coating layer may be provided between the anti-glare layer 78 and the anti-reflection layer 79 .

[0207] exist Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, an intermediate layer (compatibility layer) (not shown) is preferably formed between the transparent polyimide layer 72 and the hard coating layer 73. Forming the intermediate layer (compatibility layer) between the transparent polyimide layer 72 and the hard coating layer 73 improves the adhesion between the transparent polyimide layer 72 and the hard coating layer 73. In this case, the shear fracture strength between the transparent polyimide layer 72 and the hard coating layer 73 is preferably 20 MPa or greater.

It should be noted that the organic clay was diluted with toluene to a solid content of 6% by weight before use. The above anti-glare layer-forming composition was coated on a triacetyl cellulose film (trade name "KC4UA", manufactured by Konica Minolta Co., Ltd., thickness: 40 μm) as a transparent substrate using a comma coater (registered trademark), heated at 80 °C for 1 minute, and then irradiated with ultraviolet rays having an accumulated light quantity of 300 mJ / cm 2 to obtain an anti-glare film having an anti-glare layer (thickness: 6 μm) formed on the transparent substrate.

[0215] <Formation of undercoat layer>

[0216] Next, the heated anti-glare film was introduced into a roll-to-roll sputtering film-forming apparatus, and the pressure in the film-forming chamber was reduced to 1×10 -4Pa. Next, while conveying the anti-glare film, argon and oxygen were introduced at a volume ratio of 100:10, the surface temperature of the film-forming roller was set to -8°C, and a 1.5nm thick ITO layer (undercoat) was formed on the anti-glare layer of the anti-glare film by sputtering. In forming the undercoat, an ITO target containing indium oxide and tin oxide at a weight ratio of 90:10 was used as the target material. In addition, when forming the film by sputtering, the power supply was set to an MFAC power supply, the discharge power was set to 2.5kW, and the pressure in the film-forming chamber was set to 0.2Pa.

[0217] <Formation of Antireflection Layer>

[0218] After forming the primer layer, a roll-to-roll sputtering system was used to deposit the anti-glare film onto the primer layer. A first layer of 12nm thick Nb2O5 (refractive index: 2.32), a second layer of 29nm thick SiO2 (refractive index: 1.46), a third layer of 107nm thick Nb2O5, and a fourth layer of 81nm thick SiO2 were sequentially deposited on the primer layer. This resulted in a four-layer antireflection layer (first, second, third, and fourth layers) formed on the primer layer. During the deposition of each of the first, second, third, and fourth layers, the deposition roll surface temperature was set to -8°C, the power supply was set to an MFAC power source, and the pressure within the deposition chamber was set to 0.7 Pa. For the deposition of the first layer, a Nb target was used, argon and oxygen were introduced at a volume ratio of 100:5, and the discharge power was set to 10.5kW. For the second layer, a Si target was used, argon and oxygen were introduced at a volume ratio of 100:30, and the discharge power was set to 14 kW. For the third layer, a Nb target was used, argon and oxygen were introduced at a volume ratio of 100:13, and the discharge power was set to 22 kW. For the fourth layer, a Si target was used, argon and oxygen were introduced at a volume ratio of 100:30, and the discharge power was set to 12 kW.

[0219] <Formation of Antifouling Layer>

[0220] A 12 nm thick antifouling layer was formed on the antireflection layer by vacuum deposition using a dried and solidified alkoxysilane compound containing a perfluoropolyether skeleton (trade name "SHIN-ETSU SUBELYN KY1903-1," manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.) as a vapor deposition source. The heating temperature of the vapor deposition source was set to 260°C. This resulted in an optical laminate with an antifouling layer comprising a triacetylcellulose film, an antiglare layer, a primer layer, an antireflection layer, and an antifouling layer.

[0221] <Production of OLED Display Device with Optical Laminate>

[0222] The optical laminate was laminated on the OLED display device via an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in such a manner that the antifouling layer of the optical laminate was on the visual recognition side, thereby producing an OLED display device with the optical laminate.
